    I don't think there are any expired items on the M list now, except for (haha, yes there are some!:rotfl:) the RTC items that clog up the list that I can never be sure have gone but are possibly available in some M (and I can be sure have not gone if/when I ever come across them again) - these are marked as "I think not" (or very similar) anyway. So the list, as far as it goes, is up-to-date:D.

    However, I am not quite finished just yet - in fact some way off!:eek: - I'm nearing the end of Monday (it's now in sight:)) - there have so many changes in the last three weeks:rotfl:. I still have Wednesday to go through - and there was, I think, quite a lot more that day than there is on a usual Wednesday although some of it is duplicated in case I hadn't already got it on Monday (and couldn't check whether I had or not back then as list not updated).

    In short, what's there should be good and up-to-date (as regards real prices in M, whether or not they work on the APG is another matter) but I've still got quite a lot to add:eek: to the list (believe it or not:rotfl:).

    Those long-lost RTCs are still on the list but are indicated - I might get rid of a load of them if I ever get a free day, such as the waters that don't seem to be around anywhere now - might eventually delete a whole lot of them off - although, then again, I did come across two of them in one store more recently. I maybe need to be ruthless in my getting rid and stop hoarding a lot of items that probably, to all intents and purposes, have gone in M - but then I am being more cautious these days as I suspect I will be deleting someone else's items off the list. Random ones of them do keep turning up months later, although, to be honest, I just can't see the Crosse & Blackwell soups being around now (although there probably is a single one of them, a dented can, around on a random RTC shelf in a store somewhere, so that's the problem again as I can't rule that out) or the waters and energy drinks and the Belvita Forest Fruit that I haven't seen for ages - in the case of the Belvita , have never seen physical stock - some of those sorts of items I'm thinking have gone. I suspect they haven't though:rotfl:. Saint Omer Low Alcohol Lager bottle has clearly not gone - that turned up in one of my stores on Wednesday and I saw other RTC alcohols still around in a store I don't visit that often very recently.

    Hi TM,

    I was a bit disappointed to only get 4 but managed 10 yesterday.
    Good price for weetabix, no idea what it tastes like but my lad eats them.

    Cheers,
    Just for you Happy_Dad :j

    Does TM recognise this fine array of gin, and can she name the store?
